Jodie Meeks is attracting interest from a number of teams

It was reported earlier this month that the Los Angeles Clippers and Charlotte Hornets had reached out to sign Jodie Meeks, and Ben Stinar of Amico Hoops is reporting that the Milwaukee Bucks are the latest team to team to target the veteran guard.

Meeks made just eight regular-season appearances last season, averaging 6.4 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assist. However, the 32-year-old played 14 times during the Toronto Raptors' title-winning postseason run.

Milwaukee's interest in Meeks comes as somewhat of a surprise due to his complicated history with the team. The Bucks drafted the shooting guard back in 2009 but opted to trade him after just 40 games.

The veteran rejoined Milwaukee last October, although the front office opted to waive the former Lakers man after he had served a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy.
